Current Drain on Battery 850 1996

posted by  someone claiming to be Jim on  Mon Mar 5 01:17 CST 2001 [RELATED]

Greetings to All:

How much current should the electrical system draw when the car is at rest (ignition and all accessories turned off)? The battery was completely drained yesterday morning when I tried to start the car. It had been sitting for about 24 hours. I've never had a problem with a dead battery before. BTW, the battery was less than two years old. I took a current reading and looks like about .3 (three tenths) of an amp is being drawn with everything turned off. Has anyone had any experience with this type problem. However, it may not be a problem, maybe it was a faulty battery: If I can be that lucky.

Thanks
